Chinese and Japanese activists are causing headaches in both countries over some islands in the East China Sea controlled by Japan, but claimed by both countries, reports the BBC. Called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China (and in Taiwan, which also claims them), the uninhabited islands made the news last week when Chinese activists sailed there from Hong Kong and raised a Chinese flag on one islet. Fourteen activists were captured by Japan, leading to a huge outcry from China over their "illegal" capture; Japan deported them back to China on Friday.

Japanese activists then decided to return the favor, with 150 people on 21 boats setting sail yesterday, reports the Asahi Shimbun. Ten swam out to one islet today, raising Japanese flags, although they were quickly rounded up by the Japanese coast guard. "This is a way of saying to not mess around," says an activist leader. The island protest set off angry demonstrations around China, but with the islands sitting atop potentially huge natural gas fields, none of its claimants are expected to back down anytime soon. (Japan also has had problems recently with Dokdo, some small islets controlled by South Korea).

The Art of Hong Kong's foreign policy to Japan, if the Hong Konger echo Beijing to name the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier as "Diaoyutai" that may give some "Colors" to Japan a picture of Senkakus; also to name China's PLA's aircraft carrier as "Diaoyutai" will give Taiwan a break, the Japanese won't bully Taiwan. China's used, remodeled aircraft carrier named as "Diaoyutai" will not just be a piece of "old, used junk iron" to dock at the Diaoyutai island; this demonstration will be shown and concluded the Diaoyutai island is China's sovereignty and Chinese Territorial Integrity. Time can tell WHEN and HOW Beijing will build a mini-Hotel on the Diaoyutai (main) island for the public tourism. This time, the China's Diaoyutai sovereignty and South Korea's Dokdo sovereignty will make Japanese a lost-lost to their stolen Senkaku and Takeshima. Japan should NOT go too far, because China has its Chinese owned Space Station now, what happen China drops a water melon from Chinese Space Station to Japan; Chinese has their technique after US and Russia, Chinese has capability to shoot down and destroy a Japanese military satellite if Japan does not set the Diaoyutai free back to her motherland China, and set the Dokdo free to her South Korean motherland. Do the Hong Konger have the gut ?
